WASHINGTON (AP) - This isn't just another wag-the-tail story:
The Obamas are getting a dog in April.
First lady Michelle Obama tells People magazine that the target date for the arrival of the family pet is after her daughters' spring break trip in April, though 7-year-old Sasha is convinced the dog is coming April 1.
Mrs. Obama also says she favors Portuguese Water Dogs.
The family has been going back and forth on possible names.
Among the two Mrs. Obama mentioned - and nixed - Frank and Moose.
Barack Obama and his wife had promised their daughters, Sasha
and 10-year-old Malia, that they would get a dog if he were elected
president.
The interview with Mrs. Obama appears in Friday's editions of
People.

lol, ickthus. the only thing they get from the portugese waterdog line is web feet. i think the secret service is safe with a portugese waterdog.

does not sound like a very people friendly dog. the secrert service guys better invest in a lot of dog biscuits

my chihuahua likes deep sea fishing. he sits on my shoulder like a parrot untill a fish is hooked. then he is on the gunnel looking for it. he thinks it is a big squeeky toy. i have to hold him untill we put the fish in the ice chest. i’m afraid he will get a fish fin in the face or eye. a leash at all times crabbing when i go. funny little dogs, all heart

ickthus, they are bigger than a spaniel but the dog i mentioned also has mastiff bloodline in it as does the st bernard, great dane, etc. the south american dog also has bloodhound blood line, portugese waterdog, bulldog and mastiff bloodline.  a very powerful dog used to hunt jaquars.

Wait4Me. your wife if very smart. i have a chihuahua, who thinks she is a german shepherd and queen of the cats and i also have a german shepherd who weighs 110 lbs who thinks he is a chihuahua lap dog. they bring so much sunshine into our lives. i really hope if you get a chance you will check out the movie beverly hills chihuahua.

i thought portugese water dogs were the size of springer spaniels. did not know they were a big dog. but i have never realy seen one or paid that much mind to then on the dog shows

Joe isn’t house broken.  Not to bright either, he seems to want to speak when he should be listening.

Rose, we have a chihuahua now and he thinks he is a little boy, acts just like the kids did when they were little, he is very smart and well trained, I owe that to my wife she knows what to do and it worked on him and me, although I slip sometimes and she puts me in the dog house to.
Chi’s are funny, and the best buddy I could ever ask for.  He also loves going to work with me.

the neutered st.bernard of DC i bet he does not share that little kegg of scotch around his neck

What’s the big deal?  They already have Joe Biden to play with.  He might not be quiet as smart as a water dog, but he can sit up and beg with the best of ‘em.
